Expecting A Baby?

Puppy Talk

We want to teach owners how they can influence and shape the behavior of their growing puppy. By not teaching or setting limits your puppy understands, you are possibly contributing to future behavior problems. Puppy Talk is designed to teach owners to better understand their puppy’s needs, establish effective communication, curb behavior problems, and show owners how to properly socialize their new puppy.

Obedience Training

Your dog can begin training as early as 14-16 weeks. Older dogs can be trained as well. Your dog’s training is based on its individual personality, past and present behavior, aptitude for learning, breed characteristics, social development, and – most importantly – your family’s goals. The training will teach your dog useful obedience commands, good manners, and acceptable behavior patterns.
